London will be laced with an extra layer of vibrancy this weekend, as the annual Pride in London festivities take over the capital. From striding through the city for the humongous parade to exclusive parties to celebrate Pride Month, there’s so much going on this weekend, but nothing beats the fabulously free entertainment on offer throughout the city centre.
From Trafalgar Square to the streets of Soho, several stages will be playing host to an array of dazzling entertainment, transforming the city into a fabulously free festival. Taking place this Saturday (July 5), attendees can expect to see West End stars, London’s drag royalty, and pop perfection take to the five stages.
